Aging with Pride: IDEA is the world’s first intervention and study of sexual and gender diverse people with memory loss and or who help those experiencing memory loss. Participants work with a trained coach to build relationships and skills to address challenges due to memory loss. Funded by the NIH/NIA.

Our research has found that about half of the sexual and gender diverse people living with memory loss interested in the IDEA program did not have an informal caregiver to participate with them. IDEA Café is a pilot project that responds to the needs of this growing population facing memory loss alone. Participants build skills, support, opportunities for engagement, and access to community resources. Funded by the NRC/NIH/NIA.
